A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 222. Chapter 222

The gate was opened and the army was welcomed into the royal city.

The bright sunlight reflected on the pure hair of the young crown prince who melted like gold.

The horse slowly moved forward, the boy’s eyes were bright, his white cheeks were slightly flushed, and the light-colored cloak flew gently behind him as he moved forward.

Garlan rode on horseback at the forefront of the army.

One horse behind, Huimos rode the red-brown steed behind Garland.

The black lacquered hair was scattered around the brown cheeks, his eyes drooping slightly, his handsome face showed no expression at the moment.

He seemed to be indifferent to everything around him, but occasionally looked up at Garlan’s figure in front of him, and glanced over the rough lapis lazuli earrings on the young man’s earlobe without a trace.

Kehuos, Xinyas, and the powerful ministers who went out of the city to greet them were separated again and followed behind.

They all looked calm, with a calm appearance, as if the undercurrent surging not long ago had never existed.

It’s just that, even if it can’t be seen on the face, the hung heart of many powerful ministers finally fell to the ground at this moment.

The throne has been set.

They don’t need to struggle anymore.

Outside the city gate, Huimos knelt in front of Prince Garland.

Since then, the inferiority has been determined.

That one kneels.

It means that Huimos has publicly announced to everyone that he is willing to serve Garland as a knight.

That’s fine.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Aaron Landis can no longer withstand any turmoil, if the two princes are fighting for the throne at this moment…the consequences are simply unimaginable.

As Gallan and his party entered the city, the carriage that followed them slowly passed the city gate and drove into the avenue of the royal city.

When the carriage entered the royal city, everything was silent, and all the sounds seemed to disappear at this moment.

That is a golden carriage.

It is carved with golden patterns of runes that symbolize the gods of the underworld. Snow-white silk cloth is scattered from all around and covered on the carriage, and it gently flutters in the wind as the carriage moves forward.

In front of it, four snow-white horses pulled it forward slowly.

It is noon, the sun is high in the sky, and the weather is slightly hot.

But there was a trace of chill seeping out of the carriage, and a little mist of the huge ice cube placed in the golden carriage radiated from the white silk cloth scattered around the carriage.

The guard knights guarded the carriage around tightly, with a solemn expression, escorting the carriage forward slowly.

On both sides of the wide road in the royal city, countless people stood on either side.

The black crowd stood along both sides of the wide road, the sun was bright, and the faces of the people crowded on both sides of the road did not have the slightest warmth, only the color of sorrow.

The Wangcheng, a avenue that runs through the entire city, is very long, and the crowds crowded on both sides are even more numerous at this moment.

Go forward without seeing the head.

Backward, the tail is not visible.

Countless people crowded on both sides of the road, all black, but the long avenue was silent.

They stood quietly, watching the golden carriage in silence.

I don’t know who started first, or who took the lead.

Someone leaned over, just stood on the edge of the avenue, bowed their heads and knelt down.

Then, one after another, everyone knelt to the ground.

No one ordered, no one forced, but everyone here kneels on their own at this moment.

They knelt on their knees willingly and bowed their heads deeply to the golden carriage in the road.

Among them, there are dying old people, young children, women with tears on their faces, men with aching eyes, wealthy businessmen in gorgeous clothes, and poor people with rough faces.

Under the bright sunlight, the entire royal city was silent.

The sun is bright to the extreme, but it gives people a pale and powerless feeling.

Suddenly, the flute sounded on the silent road.

The bard Shuros, who was riding on the horse, followed on the side of the carriage and played the flute.

The sorrowful flute sound echoed gently in the silent city, like a farewell elegy.

The people kneeling on both sides of the road are boundless, but the ground is quiet, only the sound of the sad flute reverberates in the air.

People who didn’t even dare to cry were like heroes who were afraid to disturb the sleeping hero in the carriage.

No one speaks.

No one wants to disturb their sleeping king.

Ten miles long, people mourn.

The people of Aaron Landis knelt on the ground.

Clasp your hands, close to your forehead.

They closed their eyes and prayed silently to the gods of Aaron Landis.

King Camos

My King of Aaron Landis

Immortal lion

May your heroic spirits have been accessed by the gods into the kingdom of God.

“what is the problem?!”

The voice of Shamash’s priest at the moment has a rare impatience.

“Obviously when I came back, I was still fine, why did I suddenly fall ill!”

Not only Xiemuer, Kaihuos and others are also here at the moment.

It was obvious that everyone was in a gloomy mood, and the atmosphere in the room seemed very depressing.

With a creak, the bedroom door was pushed open, and the Taputi magistrate walked out of it.

Her face didn’t look very good, her whole person was much thinner than before, and there was no blood on her face at the moment.

As soon as she came out, the eyes of everyone present fell on her.

She shook her head to everyone.

As a result, the atmosphere in the room became more and more depressed as she shook her head.

Everyone looked at each other, their expressions were solemn, and their hearts were heavy.

Although they were all worried in their hearts, in order to prevent the information from leaking, they couldn’t stay here for too long and left soon after.

Tapti sent everyone away and returned to the bedroom. She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Garlan who was asleep on the bed.

The young man lay quietly on the bed, with an abnormal redness on his cheeks, and the skin other than the redness was extremely pale.

The sweat from his forehead glued strands of golden forehead to his cheeks.

The lips were slightly open, and the breath was quite rapid.

Even when he was asleep, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and occasionally his eyelashes flickered, as if he was holding back some kind of pain.

Tapti gently wiped the sweat from the prince’s forehead with a wet tissue, and looked at Gallan’s pale face distressedly.

On the second day after returning to the palace, Prince Garland fell ill.

When she went to the dormitory to wake him up in the morning, she found him lying groggy on the bed with a low-grade fever.

Throughout the whole day, the low-grade fever did not go away, and the person remained drowsy.

Gallan’s illness immediately caused a large group of people to panic.

While trying to conceal the news that the crown prince was sick and unconscious, they were still anxious because of Garlan’s illness.

At first, Kaihus thought it was a plague in the army, so he hurriedly brought the army doctor who was quite knowledgeable about the plague in the army for diagnosis and treatment.

However, after the diagnosis, the doctor said that the Prince’s disease was not the kind of plague in the army, and he could not find the cause.

Later, the Taputi magistrate secretly brought the old physician in the palace who was only responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of King Camos.

After carefully examining Garlan’s condition, the old man shook his head, his expression looking extremely heavy.

“The crown prince is not actually sick…”

The old doctor paused, then suddenly changed his words.

“No, it’s actually sick.”

He said,

“Heart disease.”

As soon as he said these two words, Kaihus and the others were all stunned, looking at Garlan who was sleeping with complex expressions.

“This kind of disease is invisible on the outside, but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.”

“The things weighing on his heart are too heavy…”

“I think…that’s probably the feeling of a knife stuck in my heart…”

The old doctor babbled.

The old man who knew exactly what had happened during this period of time looked at the low-grade fever and lethargic teenager and let out a low sigh.

He has always been the specialist physician of King Camos. After following King Camos for more than ten years, he also watched that little prince grow up under the care of King Camos.

He often chuckled and watched the interaction between the two brothers.

He sees clearly the intimacy between the two who are not brothers but far more than their brothers.

Watching the death of King Camos with his own eyes, the pain in the little prince’s heart can be imagined.

But in order to save Aaron Landis in the crisis, he didn’t have any time to relax, so he could only bury it deeply in his heart.

“In order to protect Aaron Landis, he probably has been strong.”

The old man sighed again long.

“…He lasted long enough.”

Xie Muer’s lips tightened.

He asked: “Can the crown prince be cured?”

“do not know.”

The old doctor replied.

“The prince is very strong, but sometimes it’s not a good thing to be too strong… He carried everything on his own.”

“If he is unwilling to vent his pain, and refuses to pull out the knife in his heart…”

He shook his head helplessly.

“This disease will never get better.”

…………

Thinking of what the old doctor said, Tapti looked at the prince who was still frowning in his sleep, and sighed softly.

She turned her head and looked through the window.

The deserted moonlight fell on the courtyard at night, and the sound of the fountain from the courtyard could be faintly heard.

The stone statue of the star goddess Isdar was shrouded in moonlight, and fine water drops splashed onto her face, slowly flowing down the icy stone statue.

…………

……………………

The boundless dream slowly unfolded, showing scenes before the eyes of the sleepy teenager.

Those scenes are what happened after his death in previous lives.

…

In those lifetimes, every time, shortly after his death in the hands of Huimos, the battle of Judas would break out.

Under the enchantment of the Sect of All Things, the lord of Rudas Junas and the Gastadians colluded and poisoned King Kamos.

The undefeated Lion King on the battlefield was poisoned and killed in Yunas’s room without being noticed.

Everything after that is like this life, Yunus’s subordinates rebelled against the master.

The Gasdards, led by Tyre, besieged the defenseless army of Aaron Landis.

The Second Army was destroyed.

But this time, Yunus poisoned King Kamos uncovered, and it was deliberately announced by the Gasdad people, which immediately caused great shock and turmoil in Aaron Landis.

King Camos was killed by a royal family or even by his uncle. This incident caused all Aaron Landis people to suffer a serious blow.

If there are people in the royal family colluding with the Gasdad, then who else can be trusted?

The city owners began to be suspicious of each other.

Aaron Landis’s heart is broken.

Yunus, imprisoned in the dungeon by the Gasdad, committed suicide in remorse and despair.

His daughter disappeared during the war, and no one knows her whereabouts ever since.

Afterwards, the Gasdad people used the city of Rudas as their material base and drove straight ahead, leading hundreds of thousands of troops to the king’s city.

There is only one legion guarded in the royal city.

At the same time, the northern Geshus invaded, and the Eastern Issi invaded.

The Northern Army and the Eastern Army were immovable.

But misfortunes never come singly.

A civil strife broke out in Tasda, a friendly country in the northwest, and the new ruler led the Tasda army and the Gastards into the territory of Aaron Landis and attacked the royal city.

The city of Tozes, which had only been attacked by pirates in the South not long ago and was in a half-destructed state, was once again attacked by pirates, and the group of pirates even went downstream, attacking the cities along the river along the river, and towards the city. Come.

Wangcheng was besieged by a three-way army.

At this time, the two princes in the royal city, among them, Prince Garland’accidentally’ died, leaving only Prince Huimos alone.

Something unbelievable happened.

Prince Huimos categorically abandoned the city and led the army in the city to abandon the city.

The Gastards easily conquered the city.

Aaron Landis died.

Subsequently, Huimos directly ordered the Northern Army and Eastern Army to abandon the border.

Aaron Landis’s six legions destroyed two in the battle with the Gasdad, but the remaining four legions were preserved because of his abandonment of orders.

Huimos led the army to retreat to the northwest. After the Oya River, he directly cut off the back of the new Tasda leader and sent troops into Tasda to help the original leader regain power.

After that, he guarded by the natural dangers of the Eya River, leaned back on the Tasda country, and lurked quietly, and there was no more movement.

The Gasdad easily captured the city abandoned by Huimos.

With the retreat of the Frontier Legion, the Geshurs moved south and the Iss moved west.

Except for the small part of the northwestern land adjacent to Tasda, most of Aaron Landis fell.

Both the Geshurians and the Issi people marched towards the royal city unceremoniously.

They directly joined forces and began to attack the Gasdad who occupied the royal city.

The pirates, who knew they could not rival the power of the country, looted and slaughtered the cities along the river in the south, and left without hesitation with a large amount of plundered wealth and returned to the sea.

The three armies of Iss, Geshur, and Gasdad fought fiercely on the land of Aaron Landis, and the people in the area occupied by Aaron Landis fell into a miserable situation.

The three armies were indifferent to destroying, burning, killing and looting the land of Aaron Landis.

They regard the Aaron Landis people as pigs, horses, cattle and sheep that they can kill, looting their property and food, arresting them as slaves, and even killing them for pleasure.

The Aaron Landis, who are the people of the country, have almost reduced to the existence of livestock.

Huimos ignored all this with cold eyes.

He remained stationed in the northwest, motionless, leaving the people of Aaron Landis to struggle in the flames of war.

The once prosperous and beautiful land of Aaron Landis has become a purgatory on earth.

However, within a year’s time, Aaron Landis’s original population of 20 million dropped sharply to 13 million.

Reduced by nearly a third.

In more than a year, a full seven million people were killed in the war.

There is no need to use any vocabulary to describe and express the suffering suffered by the people of Aaron Landis during this time.

Seven million lives.

Such a cold number.

It is enough to let everyone know the shocking cruel reality behind this number.

After being stationed in the city for half a year, the Gasdards eventually lost to the joint attack of Is and Geshu because more and more soldiers fell ill, abandoning the city and retreating to Kanal.

Iss and Geshur fought for nearly a year on the land of Aaron Landis. The two sides were in a stalemate. The king’s city changed hands several times, and the forces of both sides were extremely exhausted.

The once prosperous Royal City has long been dilapidated, and the once numerous city residents are even more out of ten.

But at this moment, Huimos, who had been on the sidelines for more than a year, blatantly led troops from the northwest.

First, it cut off the northern back of the Gesu people and defeated the Gesu army.

Afterwards, he regained the king’s city from the hands of the IS, and drove the army out of the country in one fell swoop.

In less than four months, Aaron Landis was restored.

Huimos ascended to the throne in the royal city and became the new king of Aaron Landis.

During his reign, the combat effectiveness of Aaron Landis’ army reached its peak.

No one dared to invade Aaron Landis.

It became the most powerful military country on the continent.

However, this kind of power is a kind of deformed power.

How strong Aaron Landis’s military is, the economy is depressed.

Huimos did not deliberately treat his people harshly, just not caring or caring.

But the king only needs to be indifferent, enough to make the vast majority of his people survive hard and difficult.

Gradually, the people of Aaron Landis became more and more disappointed, and their grievances against the cruel king gradually rose, but because of fear of him, they resisted it.

Huimos stayed on the throne for sixteen years, and died when he was less than forty years old.

Before his death, he neither left behind nor appoints a successor.

It’s not that it’s too late, but that I don’t want to manage it at all.

His temperament has been completely distorted, and his surly temper was on the throne as he pleased when he was alive. After death, he didn’t care what Aaron Landis would look like after his death.

When he was alive, the powerful ministers did not dare to take a breath.

As soon as he died, the suddenly liberated people began to frantically fight for power.

Soon after, a child with royal blood was sent to the throne and became a puppet supported by the powerful ministers.

However, many city owners refused to recognize the king they supported and refused to obey the orders of the city.

At the same time, people who have already complained have lit the flames of uprisings everywhere.

Aaron Landis was split and chaotic.

Less than a year after the death of Huimos, the Gasdards attacked Aaron Landis after 16 years of ruling Kanal and accumulated enough power.

Aaron Landis, who had lost Huimos, was as fragile as a bubble.

In just three months, the city was breached by the Gasdad.

The prestigious Aaron Landis once again perished.

Died in the hands of Tyr, the king of Gasdade.

Later, after taking Aaron Landis, King Tyr of Gasdade continued to fight in the north and south.

He spent five years conquering Tasda in the northeast, Gaisu in the north, and Iss in the east.

His horseshoe traveled all over the land, conquered all the kingdoms on this continent, and established a huge empire.

However, soon after conquering the mainland completely, Tyre died unexpectedly.

The huge empire he built was torn apart immediately after his death.

Since then, the mainland has fallen into a century of war. The divided countries have been fighting endlessly with each other. The people of the countries have been displaced. White bones can be seen everywhere on the earth. Every place is barren and the people have no livelihood.

The suffering of people on the earth seems to be endless…

………………………

Under the starry night sky, the clear water droplets of the fountain are scattered in the dark night.

The drops of water splashing on the face of the stone statue of the Goddess of Isdar slowly slipped down the cold cheeks, like tears from the corner of the eyes of the goddess of stars.

Moonlight slanted into the room, shining on Gallan’s abnormal blushing cheeks, who had been asleep for a long time.

Patter.

The drop of water fell gently into the spring water.

The young man who woke up from his dream slowly opened his eyes.
